I favor this position, and would be in favor of using the rule as you state
it as a convention until RFC 3066 can be revised.

At present we appear to have no registered tags that violate it, assuming
that Hant and Hans are de facto ISO 15924 codes.

Assent may be registered by a signature, a handshake, or a click of a computer
mouse transmitted across the invisible ether of the Internet. Formality
is not a requisite; any sign, symbol or action, or even willful inaction,
as long as it is unequivocally referable to the promise, may create a contract.
